Goodnight Trouble Lyrics

I watched late night planes
Leave cool white trails
And my trouble took flight
Goodnight trouble
Goodnight

I kissed my friend
And he took my hand
And my trouble took flight
Goodnight trouble
Goodnight

Goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight

Goodnight

Free falling now
In my place among the clouds
Yeah my trouble, it took flight
Goodnight trouble
Goodnight

Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Goodnight trouble

Goodnight

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

“I started that one a long time ago, after just returning from the cabin I’d been living in. A person came into my life I think to show myself to me- to act as a mirror. He was in the same place I was, kind of troubled. We didn’t have and lifelines, any resources and were both sort of at the end of our rope. It was rather a sad relationship but also really helpful. The horns are the wonderful Toronto jazz guys, Richard Underhill and Chris Gale.”
